FOREWORD

Environmental sustainability is one of the main pillars

on which we should build the growth of motorsport and future of mobility. With the adoption of the

Environmental Strategy 2020-2030, sustainability has been embedded as one of the priorities within the FIA and this approach drives and will continue to drive our work and the way we engage with our members and other stakeholders.

I invite you to read this first progress report that highlights our efforts since the adoption of the strategy and the direction in which we are heading.

Our ambition is to reinforce our position in major developments of sustainable innovations and continually impact positively sustainability agenda of motorsport and mobility.

In December 2020, the FIA pledged to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change, with the ultimate goal to achieve net- zero carbon by removing any residual emissions from 2030.

For the last 18 months, the FIA has been working towards the realisation of these ambitious goals, while engaging mobility and sports clubs. This report explains what actions have been taken and shows the progress achieved against short- to medium- term targets.

Now, more than ever, we need to concentrate on enabling all our stakeholders to contribute to global climate action.

INTRODUCTION

The FIA is committed to accelerating the global transformation to net zero by acting on its own impact, leading the development and promotion of new technologies and using its reach to raise awareness and change perceptions.

In our ecosystem, sponsors and manufacturers are seeking to integrate a deeper sense of purpose into the narrative as consumer expectations evolve, as do fans’ expectations of their favourite sport, moving from human performance alone to human rights and environmental protection.

Our federation has committed to a long-term plan up to 2030, communicating regularly on progress. This sets the stage for trustbased dialogue and collaboration with all stakeholders. We are committed to addressing environmental and climate issues, both for our organisation and in helping our members and stakeholders to make and meet their commitments. With the adoption of the 2020-2030 Environmental Strategy, we have set bold ambitions to align with climate science and our vision to promote safe, sustainable and accessible motor sport and mobility for all.

This is the FIA’s first environmental report. This report summarises our 2020-2030 environmental strategy, analyses carbon footprint of the reporting period 2021, and highlights the achievements of the targets set in the environmental strategy since its adoption (December 2020 until June 2022).

We will report annually on our progress towards environmental sustainability and the goal of becoming net zero by 2030.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

/ FIA ADVANCES IN CARBON REDUCTION EFFORTS AND BECOMES CARBON NEUTRAL

At the heart of the FIA Environmental Strategy is the FIA’s commitment to accelerating net zero transformation. This commitment was further enhanced with the FIA becoming a signatory of the UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action Framework in December 2019.

The first step was to act on the FIA’s internal organisational footprint by measuring its GHG Emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3), defining reduction measures and offsetting residual emissions.

What is the UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action Framework?

Uniting behind a set of principles, sports organisations and their communities have created an initiative by collaborating in order to position their sector on the path of the low-carbon economy that global leaders agreed on in Paris in 2015. Sports for Climate Action works towards two overarching goals: Achieving a clear trajectory for sports organisations to combat climate change through commitments and partnerships according to verified standards, including measuring, reducing and reporting greenhouse gas emissions; and using sports as a unifying tool to federate and create solidarity among global citizens for climate action.

7

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Measurement

Since 2019, the FIA annually undertakes an independently verified (by Global Climate Initiatives) carbon footprint calculation based on the accounting and reporting procedure defined by the GHG Protocol. The calculation includes all 3 scopes of the GHG protocol and focus on the 3 FIA sites, the FIA events and the suppliers for championships financed by the FIA. Within the categories of emissions defined according to the ISO 14064-1, Scopes 1 and 2 being globally mandatory, Scope 3 items calculated for the FIA are the following: energy-related emissions scope 3, purchased goods and services, capital goods, waste, upstream transportation and distribution, business travels, and employee commuting.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

GHG emissions by the FIA in 2021 were 31% below their 2019 level. This reduction, however, should be interpreted with caution as the extent of the activity in 2021 was not fully comparable with 2019. The figures representing 2022 activities will show a more accurate picture.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Reduction

As part of its strategic commitments, the FIA has set itself the objective of reducing emissions caused by the FIA’s own operations by 20% in 2025 and 50% in 2030 (compared with baseline year 2019).

While doing a thorough analysis in order to formalise a full carbon reduction plan and monitoring process aligned with the Paris agreement target of 1.5°C, the FIA has also immediately proceeded with actions to reduce GHG emissions. The total footprint of FIA activities in 2021 decreased by 31% compared with the baseline year, 2019. However, this reduction it should be interpreted with caution as the extent of the activity in 2021 was not fully comparable with 2019 due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

We are particularly focused on reducing emissions related to Scope 3 business travel and freight transport. The objective set in 2019 is to reduce the emissions by 5.5% per year by 2030 to comply with the 1.5-degree scenario.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

In 2021, the FIA’s average GHG emissions per employee (excl. freight) have decreased by 30% compared with 2019, due to Scope 3 reductions. This is a result of a change of habits during the COVID pandemic, including the cancellation of many physical events and limited business travel. While business travel is rising again in 2021, we increasingly rely on digital collaboration to deliver for our members and other stakeholders, leading to more cost-efficient and reduced carbon emissions activity.

The major step in 2021 was to modify the FIA travel policy in order to reduce the number of journeys and encourage more sustainable modes of transport. It includes measures such as eliminating air travel between Paris and Geneva (the locations of the two main sites of the FIA; train only), increasing the length of the air journey necessary to be eligible for a business class ticket, and reducing the number of physical official FIA meetings.

Already, by making all Commission meetings virtual the FIA can reduce its total emissions by 6% (2019 baseline) which is equivalent to approximately 1.1 kt CO2e.

To reduce emissions, we are working on a number of measures with results expected at the earliest at the end of 2022, namely:

Business travel policy

Optimisation of FIA freight

Reduction of electricity consumption and sourcing of renewable electricity

Commuting policy

A detailed analysis of potential reduction due to these actions is still ongoing.

11

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Offsetting

While the priority remains avoiding and reducing carbon emissions resulting from our activities, in 2021 the FIA decided to offset its remaining emissions by investing in carbon compensation projects.

In 2021, we offset equivalent of 6,200 t CO2 (covering the FIA’s 2020 footprint) to allow the organisation to become carbon neutral this year. The FIA has partnered with South Pole in order to invest in offsetting projects. The projects were selected though a tendering process that included stringent selection criteria. Selected project portfolio:

PROJECT TYPE TECHNOLOGY

OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS (SDGS)

Song Chung, Vietnam Hydro power Energy mix

Energy generation, local job creation, local infrastructure improvement

STANDARD

Kariba Forest Protection, Zimbabwe Forest conservation (REDD+) Forests

Biodiversity protection, freshwater supply protection, sustainable food production, local education support, local healthcare providers support

Vichada, Colombia Afforestation/ reforestation Forests

Biodiversity protection, ecosystem restoration, job creation

The projects selected are spread over 3 continents (South America, Africa and Asia) and meet the highest international standards. The investment involves forest conservation and restoration as well as avoidance projects that allow renewable energy generation, benefiting biodiversity and local communities and having a positive economic impact in developing countries.

These projects will see continued support from the FIA for compensation of its 2021 and 2022 carbon footprint.

12

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

In April 2022 the FIA was selected as one of 20 organisations that won the IOC Carbon Action Awards, for its efforts to reduce GHG emissions. The IOC recognised the FIA’s carbon reduction plan to cut its carbon emissions by 50 per cent by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement and the implementation of an environmental management system certified according to ISO 14001:2015 standard.

IOC Climate Action Award

To mark 2022 Earth Day (22 April), some 20 major sporting organisations, including the FIA, were presented with the IOC Carbon Action Awards, recognising efforts to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Launched in 2019, the IOC Carbon Action Awards – which originally formed part of the IOC-DOW Carbon Partnership – were created to inspire climate action by recognising the sustainability efforts of key sports organisations within the Olympic Movement. As part of the initiative, those International Federations and National Olympic Committees that have demonstrably reduced their GHG emissions within the scope of their organisations and respective events are rewarded with carbon offsets to compensate their remaining emissions.

The FIA is determined to make progress towards the goal of becoming net zero by 2030 by reducing and avoiding emissions, while supporting solutions that allow carbon removal, and supporting development of technologies that contribute to the decarbonisation of motorsport and mobility.

13

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

/ FIA ACHIEVES ISO14001 CERTIFICATION

The FIA became ISO 14001-certified in December 2021. Within this framework, the FIA is committed to reducing the environmental impact resulting from its activities. It helps us to manage our activities through setting objectives and defining concrete action plans.

ISO 14001 is an environmental management system that helps organizations identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental performance.

DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE ENERGIES ROADMAP

On the way towards carbon neutrality through significant emissions reduction, the world of motor sport must adapt and meet the expectations of manufacturers and competitors. The FIA aims to set a reference in the development and promotion of these new technologies. In 2021 the FIA and its relevant Commissions and stakeholders developed a roadmap for the transition of championships to sustainable energies for powering vehicles. As a result, the great majority of championships will run under clean energy by 2026 (1) .

(1) In order for the fuel to be called Advanced Sustainable, it needs to be based of at least 70% sustainable components. As of today, F2/F3 and WTCR roadmaps do not foresee sufficient biofuel ratio to be considered as sustainable energy powered championships in 2026. Additional research efforts will be made to fulfil this condition.

Criteria: Red: No Sustainable Fuel (SF) | Orange: 1%+ SF | Yellow: 10%+ SF | Light green: 50%+ SF | Green: 70%+ SF or EV or H2 | EV: Electric vehicles | H2: Hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle | HY: hybrid 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 F1 HY + 4% Gen 2 HY + 10% Gen 2 bio HY + 100% Gen 2 bio/e-fuels F2/F3 55% Ge 2 bio/e-fuels* WRC 10% Gen 2 bio (E10) HY + 100% Gen 2 bio FE EV WEC HY + 15% Gen 2 bio HY + 100% Gen 2 bio Hypercar H2 WRX RX1 e EV RX2 e EV Rally Raid Multiple sustainable energies ramp-up E-GT EV WTCR 15% Gen 2 bio HY + 15% Gen 2 bio E-TCR EV ETRC 100% Gen 2 bio 100% Gen 2 bio / EV / H2 Karting 100% Gen 2 bio

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

Sustainable fuel is a fuel uniquely composed of sustainable components derived from carbon capture, municipal waste or non-food biomass whose life cycle results in a minimum 65% emissions reduction compared to fossil fuel (sourcing and production):

> E-fuel (or “synthetic” fuel) is made from carbon capture (from air, exhausts or stationary sources) and hydrogen (from water or air) electrolysis.

> Biofuel is made from municipal waste or biomass (Gen2) or algae (Gen3). Its diesel version is called HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil).

Sustainable EVs are vehicles whose energy is derived from a renewable energy source (sun, wind or water) or sustainable fuel (hydrogen), whose life cycle results in a minimum 65% emissions reduction compared to fossil fuel (sourcing and production):

> Battery: device that stores electrical energy, enabling energy from renewable resources to be stored and released when required.

> Fuel cell: device that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (hydrogen) into electricity with an electrochemical reaction.

Although the use of sustainable fuels allows significant emission savings compared with fossil-derived fuels, the introduction of 100% sustainable fuels brings new challenges. Issues such as the availability of fuels of sufficient quality and from sustainable origins, or the technical compatibility of the fuel with the engine and its components, need to be further analysed in order to find viable solutions and accelerate the adoption of sustainable fuels on a large scale.

FLAGSHIP PROJECTS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO OUR MEMBERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

/ ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATION

The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme is aimed at helping motor sport and mobility stakeholders worldwide to measure and enhance their environmental performance. By introducing clear and consistent environmental management into motor sport and mobility, it provides stakeholders with a framework within which to accredit their activities.

The three-level accreditation scheme (from basic to best practice) is based on international environmental certification standards (incl. ISO 14001 and EMAS). It has been designed to fit all FIA stakeholders and encourage gradual progression through the levels.

The Environmental Strategy makes obtaining the accreditation mandatory for members (1* by 2025 and 3* or equivalent on a voluntary basis by 2030) and championship stakeholders (3* by 2025 for World Championships and by 2030 for FIA-sanctioned championships). The programme has grown to reach nearly 80 accredited stakeholders (including 27 organisations accredited in 2021 only).

The FIA is continuously looking to improve the way the Environmental Accreditation Programme is being implemented in order to ensure fairness and maintain our commitment to improving environmental performance.

SUSTAINABLE EVENTS GUIDE

In 2020 the FIA developed a sustainable events guide, available to members and other stakeholders delivering events, with the aim of providing key actions allowing to reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint of events.

The guide has been designed to provide event organisers with the technical support and guidance to identify simple and clear actions for improving their sustainability performance. Developed in alignment with the requirements of the Environmental Accreditation Programme, it provides a practical approach that can be applied to events of all sizes.

An organisation that applies the guidelines is well positioned to achieve a 2* level of the accreditation.

The guidelines are structured around six key impact areas: Energy use, Air Quality & Transport, Waste Management, Water & Biodiversity, Supply Chain, and Social Responsibility.

Benefits

> Guides the organisation of all types of events in a more sustainable way.

> Provides guidance for consistent environmental management and effective communication.

> Can serve as an entry point for more advanced programmes, such as the FIA Accreditation programme, driving both awareness and practical action.

> Shares environmental awareness in a user-friendly way.

/ FIA CARBON TOOL

In 2020 the FIA launched an online carbon calculation tool for its own organisation as well as for its stakeholders, following the implementation of the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme, and contributing to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The FIA carbon calculation tool, developed by Global Climate Initiatives, has been specifically adapted to the motor sport industry and will allow the stakeholders to calculate their carbon footprint. Currently, the tool is available to 3* accredited stakeholders.

By the end of 2021, 19 users have been registered in the tool, among them, 5 have finalised their carbon footprint.

Benefits

By obtaining insights on the environmental performance of its stakeholders, the FIA can cater to them in order to:

> Provide them with support in understanding their carbon footprint and becoming climate neutral.

> Maximise the impact of the programmes by defining priority areas where more attention and education are needed in order to reduce emissions.

> Establish benchmarks and goals for motor sport.

/ FIA ENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING PROGRAMME

In 2021 we developed an environmental training programme that aims to build capacity, to provide our members with knowledge on climate action and sustainable events management.

The first level, launched in November, aims to provide a clear understanding of environmental management and how to take initial steps to improve environmental performance. This first level was developed in cooperation with stakeholders, including Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). The course is delivered as an e-learning module, available on the FIA e-learning platform in English, French or Spanish. So far, nearly 80 users registered to complete the first level of the training. We plan to further expand the programme, with additional levels to provide the participants with the necessary spectrum of knowledge (Two-Star, focusing on carbon management and climate action; and Three-Star, which will focus on becoming environmental leaders and creating independent projects).

Benefits

> Provides a common baseline of knowledge and understanding on the main environmental topics

> After completing this level, the participants will have a clear understanding of environmental management and how to take the initial steps to improve their environmental performance

> Free of charge, easily accessible on the FIA e-learning platform

/ SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY ROADMAP

The FIA Sustainable Mobility Roadmap was endorsed by the World Council in 2021.

Historically, Mobility Clubs have been well positioned to advocate for efficient regulations, preventing transport authorities from cascading compliance procedures with policies that are outdated and restrictive towards the mobility community. Undergoing a rapid change in modern society, Clubs today acknowledge the need to review and prioritise the mobility topics they are working on, ensuring that their policy positions are in line with new consumer expectations. Clubs are widening their scope of activities to a broader range of mobility issues, and the focus on sustainability has been prioritised more and more often.

While road safety, travel and tourism, accessibility and inclusiveness are closely interlinked with a broader sustainability agenda, these topics require dedicated strategies, roadmaps and campaigns. This Roadmap sets the stage for three major trends in the field of sustainable mobility – Environmental, Accessible and Inclusive as well as Smart mobility - across all FIA Regions.

/ SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY GRANTS / LCA EXPERT TOOL

The programme is structured around priority themes of the FIA environmental sustainability pillars. Focus is placed on the topics of e-fuels, CO2 footprint management and transport decarbonisation. The aim of the programme is to help members implement their sustainable mobility projects.

In 2022, the FIA Sustainable Mobility Programme will support 11 projects proposed by FIA member clubs. 7 Advocacy projects will gather stakeholders to promote decarbonisation policies and raise awareness among consumers about the benefits of sustainable mobility at Roundtables, Forums, and other mobility events.

Additionally, 4 Innovative projects will implement diverse initiatives to promote e-mobility. These projects will involve creating educational programmes for electric bus drivers and sharing best practice in terms of energy consumption; conducting a large-scale survey of the electric vehicle users to understand their experience; installing EV charging stations; organising training to build user confidence in EVs; and creating a databased vehicle emission testing system.

The FIA Sustainable Mobility Programme has supported the creation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools, developed by the Johanneum Research Institute since 2018. LCA tools provide consumers with reliable estimates of the real environmental effects over the entire lifetime of a vehicle including its production, use and recycling, in order to help every consumer, make more informed and sustainable choices.

The LCA methodology has been incorporated in the Green NCAP programme, which is an independent vehicle testing initiative, that promotes the development of clean and energy efficient cars. In April 2022, Green NCAP announced its first LCA results, examining the real environmental impact of some of Europe’s most popular cars.

In terms of the development of the LCA expert tools, currently the targeted markets are EU 27 countries, Australia, China, Japan, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, UK and South Africa. In 2023, the project will expand to Latin America and India.

DISCLAIMER

/ INFORMATION ABOUT THIS REPORT

This report and the FIA Environmental Strategy 2020-2030 refer to environmental sustainability and are applicable to FIA activities linked to the Environment.

The GHG (carbon footprint) report period in this report covers the period from January to December 2021 (year 2021). However, this environmental report also describes achievements of the objectives set in the Environmental Strategy 2020-2030 and refers to the period since adoption of the strategy in December 2020 until June 2022.

The GHG report operational perimeter corresponds to the categories and items of emissions related to the activities of the organizational perimeter (sources of emissions). The main international standards and methods define three types of emissions called “Scope”. All standards require that Scopes 1 and 2 be taken into account. Scope 1 includes all emissions generated directly by fixed or mobile installations located within the organizational perimeter, i.e., emissions from sources owned or controlled by the legal entity and its activities. Scope 2 includes all indirect emissions related to energy consumption (consumption of electricity, heat or steam) of the legal entity. Scope 3 corresponds to all other indirect emissions produced by the organization’s activities.

FIA chose to report the following items: Energy-related emissions scope 3, purchased goods, capital goods, disposal of solid and liquid wastes, upstream transportation and distribution, business travels, customers and visitors travels, employee commuting.

The FIA operations refer to activities of all employees and administration located in the three sites Paris (France), Geneva (Switzerland), Valleiry (France). Activities concerned are operational management of the facilities, hosting meetings and events (such as conferences, seminars, etc.), regular management of administrative, sporting and

mobility areas, logistics and business travels of employees. For more comprehensive information about our overall results and operations, please refer to our annual activity reports available at fia.com.

Carbon neutrality describes a state in which the GHG emissions released to the atmosphere by a stakeholder have been reduced or avoided and the remaining ones are compensated with carbon credits. To achieve carbon neutrality, carbon credits from projects that reduce, avoid or temporarily capture GHGs are accepted. Net Zero is a state where a balance between anthropogenic GHG emissions and removals is achieved. This can be achieved through reducing and avoiding emissions, and then implementing solutions to capture the remaining ones at the point of generation, or by removing them from the atmosphere. To achieve net zero, only carbon credits or offsets generated by projects that capture CO2 in the long term are accepted. (Source: UNFCCC guidelines)

The “Report on Global Reporting Initiative” part of this report has been developed with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and includes relevant standard disclosures defined by the GRI guidelines. GRI is the global standard setter for impact reporting, providing and maintaining the world’s most comprehensive and widely used sustainability disclosure standards.

Our work towards environmental sustainability is possible through the collaboration and participation of numerous stakeholders. In line with the continuous improvement and dialogue and cooperation approach, the FIA is open to any feedback, comments and suggestions for further improvements of our practices.
